Russia disrupts funding of its soldiers in Donbas

Russian curators delay or cease financing of theirs troops for participation in hostilities in the occupied Donbas.

The report of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry reads, Censor.NET informs.

In particular, the Russian military of the "3rd Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade (Horlivka) of the 1st Army Corps" started rebelling after they were not paid their salaries. To avoid a riot, the commandment allocated 2,000 Russian rubles ($26) to each soldier.

According to intelligence, poor monetary and material support leads to increase in the number of refusals to renew contracts and desertion. In particular, Russian soldier Kobelev (born 1992) fled the "9th Separate Motorized Rifle Regiment (Novoazovsk) of the 1st Army Corps" because he did not want to serve on the front line.

"Given financial difficulties, the commanders of the units of the "6th Separate Motorized Rifle Regiment (Stakhanov) of the 2nd Army Corps" organized a 'business'. They transfer the unit's personnel who do not want to pass the service on the front line to the rear for a bribe. This causes discontent among those soldiers who have to bear additional load on the front line," the Defense Ministry stated.
